Table and chair; pen and paper; text and time What sounds long and complicated describes most simply the heart of it all: handwritten books, meticulously crafted as one-of-a-kind objects. This unconventional way of making texts accessible questions our dependency on technology, shifting the focus from mere content delivery to a very personal, even intimate experience of literature. All it takes in the process is a table and a chair to sit on, a pen and paper, and a piece of text worthwhile to be read—­­and rewritten. In a way, this turns back the hands of time, to an era before Gutenberg and the printing press, where print wasn’t on the verge of dying—­indeed where it hadn’t even been born.

Table and chair; pen and paper; text and time is an exploration of handwriting in various contexts: books, spaces, performances and workshops. It offers an experience in response to the fast pace of contemporary culture.
